TOPIC | New Technology - Projects 

• Celestia

Celestia has released its mainnet beta after issuing tokens to 580,000 users.

• Avail

The announcement comes as Celestia's recent launch and airdrop have kindled interest in "modular" blockchain projects that can relieve the burden on primary networks like Ethereum.

• EigenDA 

EigenLayer’s platform for "re-staking" is designed to extend Ethereum’s pooled security from ETH stakers to other blockchain systems – a way for developers to bootstrap new networks without having to create their own communities of network validators.

• SUAVE

Unbundles the mempool and block builder role from existing blockchains and offers a highly specialized and decentralized plug-and-play alternative. Sharing the same sequencing layer allows crypto to stay decentralized, block builders to capture cross-domain MEV, validators to maximize their revenue, and users to transact with the best execution, while reducing the economic centralization pressure on each domain.

• Bitcoin
